About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the 2025-2030 National Mobile Food Service Unit (MFSU) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The government is seeking input from industry on updated requirements for the next iteration of this contract, which provides mobile meal services for fire suppression, emergency response, and other operations. Key details include a 5-year base period with up to four 1-year option periods, minimum order guarantees of $5,000 per vendor, and revised specifications for MFSU systems and meal service capabilities. Contractors will be evaluated on their ability to provide complete MFSU solutions that meet the government's performance-based requirements. A pre-solicitation conference is scheduled for July 31, 2024 in Boise, Idaho, and questions and comments on the RFI are due by July 29, 2024.
This MFSU IDIQ contract will be a 100% small business set-aside. The government estimates the total value of historical mobile food service orders from 2019-2023 was over $413 million. While no solicitation has been issued yet, the Forest Service intends to award task orders for the designated dispatch point locations with the highest historical activity to provide the best overall value. Pricing will be evaluated for the base period and all option periods.
